Tri-Cities

"Tri-Cities" is a casual term that refers to three cities and two villages in the northeast area of Metro Vancouver: Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody (along with the villages of Anmore and Belcarra).

Though Tri-Cities is only 30 kilometres from downtown Vancouver, the area offers a considerable number of open green spaces and more than 90 kilometres of hiking trails - including a portion of the Trans Canada Trail, the world's longest network of trails, spanning coast-to-coast.

The Tri-Cities' hiking trails are rich with gardens and wildlife, and feature incredible opportunities for outdoor exploration. At Belcarra Regional Park and Buntzen Lake - two parks situated in the forested mountainside of Port Moody - you'll find a network of impossibly scenic and stunning trails. The parks sit along the water's edge, tucked away on the Burrard Inlet at the mouth of Indian Arm.

With its nearly 100 municipal parks and natural areas, the Tri-Cities area offers a number of exceptional, not-to-be-missed hiking and other outdoor opportunities.
